	White-collar worker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As salaried employees, white-collar workers are sometimes members of white-collar labor unions and they can resort to strike action to settle grievances with their employers, when collective bargaining fails.
		White-collar workers have a reputation for being skeptical or opposed to unions, and tend to see their advancement in work as tied to their reaching corporate goals rather than in union membership.
		Generally, the pay rate is higher among white-collar workers, although many of the "white-collar" workers are not necessarily upper class or of privilege as the term once implied.

	EMIRE: BELGIUM - WHITE-COLLAR WORKER
		Its abolition does not seem feasible in practice, since employers are firmly opposed to the idea of raising the status of blue-collar workers to that of white-collar workers and the latter, for their part, refuse to relinquish their rather lengthy periods of notice.
		In 1991 the total number of white-collar workers in Belgium (private sector plus public sector and education) was 1,859,697, as compared with 1,282,840 blue-collar workers.
		Cases of disputed classification between blue-collar and white-collar are referred to the labour courts, through which the distinction is now being challenged as incompatible with the principle of equality before the law enshrined in the Constitution.

	Computerization Policies and National Patterns of White-Collar Culture
		The fact that for the social identity of the white-collar worker large groups and organizations (classes, status, unions, professional groups...) play a lesser role than for blue-collar workers, and that for white-collar workers the individualization of biographies and professional careers is greater, has to have consequences for the operationalization of socio-cultural contexts, too.
		Whereas for a skilled worker a certificate of apprenticeship represents the socially sanctioned right to a responsible job assignment that the worker can satisfy independently, the white-collar worker tends more to expect a high level of autonomy in his work on the basis of his commitment and loyalty to the company.
		This is not the case because all whitecollar workers are cadres, but because they see themselves as "cadres in the making" or as "failed cadres", taking this conception as the point of departure for the definition of their own group as contrasted with outside groups.

	FLUID POWER SAFETY INSTITUTE™ - Fluid Power Safety Brief No. 10
		Aren't white collar people also "working." As far as I am concerned, the very first step in mending "behaviors" is to treat all workers "clean" or "dirty" as equals.
		First, the minute a safety person or a white-collar person refers to a colleague as a worker, the seed of discrimination is planted - a transparent, but profoundly damaging barrier is placed between the "clean" people and the "dirty" people.
		According to the experts it is to get the "workers" themselves actively involved in the safety process, and to analyze why people have/adopt at-risk behaviors.

	White Collar Worker Kintaro
		But this isn't to say WHITE COLLAR WORKER is a bad movie, it's actually pretty amusing and shows that an 'unpredictable' filmmaker like Miike can live up to that adjective by creating a competent, by the numbers movie amidst the frenetic intensity of his questionable sanity.
		Kintaro, a former mob boss, has put his wild past behind him and is now an honest white collar worker at a construction company determined to stay on the straight and narrow.
		WHITE COLLAR WORKER KINTARO is reminiscent of your typical 80's inspirational feel-good fare, replete with all the humor and cheesiness you can swallow.

	White Majority
		For all the talk of racial backlash, black and white workers were marching, picketing, and organizing together in a spirit of class solidarity that had not been seen since the thirties.
		In fact, according to writer Barbara Ehrenreich, "America's blue-collar workers were in revolt in the late sixties and early seventies, but not along the right-wing, traditionalist lines sketched by the media.
		In support of her untenable contention that workers never moved to the right, Ehrenreich feebly argues that workers who voted for (George) Wallace in 1964, 1968, and 1972 were attracted only to his economic 'liberalism.' But if they wanted economic liberalism, they could just as easily have voted for Johnson, Humphrey, or McGovern.

	The Home Page of Roy J. Adams
		Survey evidence indicates, however, that although some workers are wary of participating in the adversarial environment of conventional collective bargaining, the large majority of currently unrepresented workers would like to have representation in the making of their conditions of employment by some means (Freeman and Rogers 1999).
		Indeed instead of focusing on the rights of workers to influence their conditions of work - the central objective of collective bargaining as a human right - most Canadian labour policy seems to be focused instead on achieving a balance between business interests and the institutional interests of established trade unions.
		In its report under the Follow-up the the Fundamental Declaration, the ILO lists as a priority objective: "closing the representation gap for workers and employers." The size of the representation gap is indicated by the percentage of employees whose conditions of employment are not determined through negotiations between employers and representatives independently chosen by employees.

		We have seen ads for pain relief, cold remedies, and office supplies where the white-collar worker functions primarily as a prop or cartoon figure for pitching the brandname good.
		Illustrative was a 1998 Staples office supplies commercial set in an office with three white-collar executives discussing how to reduce wasteful spending on office supplies; in walks a fourth character who is immediately caricatured as the office know-it-all, loudmouth, and goof-off.
		Indeed, in those ads that actually claim to depict their own workers -- here I am thinking of the 1990s' campaigns like those of Saturn and Ford -- there is an effort to stress the absence of foremen, while emphasizing that the presence of collaborative teamwork ensures higher quality production.

	SSRN-Who Among White Collar Workers Has an Opportunity for Phased Retirement? Establishment Characteristics by Robert Hutchens, Karen Grace-Martin
		Opportunities tend to be more limited in establishments where white collar workers are unionized, and where the establishment is part of a larger organization.
		The results also indicate that opportunities for phased retirement are greater in establishments that employ part-time white-collar workers, allow job sharing, and have flexible starting times.
		Utilizing a new survey of employers, this paper examines how and why establishments differ in their willingness to permit an older full-time white-collar worker to take phased retirement.

		And as Congress and the White House sit down to hammer out the miserable details of Social Security reform - if they're able to agree on the details - that's something that should be in the front of their minds.
		It might even make them think of things like increasing the income that can be taxed, which currently ends at about $90,000 - or even, gasp, dumping some of the tax cuts they passed in the first few years of this administration.
